Sis. Sarah urges believers to stand firm in a world of growing spiritual pressure, deception, and moral collapse. Our battle is not against people, governments, or culture, but against spiritual forces of darkness. God has equipped His people with truth, righteousness, faith, salvation, the gospel of peace, and His Word so that, in “the evil day,” we may stand our ground without fear, compromise, or retaliation. Christians stand not only against evil but for Christ, truth, righteousness, peace, and souls.

1. Our battle is spiritual, not political or personal. We fight the enemy of souls, not flesh and blood. Stand with spiritual armor, not carnal reactions.

2. Christians must stand for something, not only against something. We stand for truth, righteousness, holiness, the gospel, and the character of Christ — with love, peace, and conviction.

3. When God’s people stand, God sustains them. Like Daniel, Esther, and the three Hebrew men, God strengthens those who stand for Him — even in hostile times.

• Ephesians 6:10–18 — Full armor of God; “stand therefore”

• Galatians 5:1 — Stand fast in the liberty of Christ

• John 8:32, 36 — The truth makes you free

• Daniel 1; 3; 6 — Standing in Babylon

• Esther 4:14 — “For such a time as this”

• James 1:5 — Wisdom for the stand

• Proverbs 4 — Guard your heart and walk in wisdom
